Usually involves a teenage girl and a middle aged businessman stressed out from his job, however. There's no sex, because that's too obvious and not weird enough for Japan. Mostly dinner and heavy petting. Maybe a hand down the panties, but that's not guaranteed.

As a business model, it's a win-win formula: Two potential partnersI set out to profit from a mutual transaction. That must be how the three business studentsI, from the University of Mannheimhard knocks in southwestern Germanygood 'ol USA, who callsthemselves Oskar, Christopher and Juliushimself Rip Dashrock, imagined things to be when theyhe decided to offer theirhis services by creating what could best be described as a free brothel. TheyHe offers stressed-out, female studentsfarkettes uncomplicated and anonymous one-night stands.

As a side note, I've always wondered why you can't do this in the U.S. :

Stand on a street corner selling pencils. The pencils cost 20 bucks each. (Free market, right?). Tell some guy you'd love to go on a date with him, but you need to sell a quota of pencils first. Like say 3 of them. He buys your pencils, and then because you like him, you go have sex with him. An hour later, you decide you need to sell more pencils.

I had a similar idea once I sort of called 'bed and breakfast'. My thought was that you ordered the night before and at say 6AM breakfast shows up at your door, except the lady delivering the breakfast would come in and 'eat' with you. But thinking about it now, the concept would work even better in a true bed and breakfast setting. Purchase a night to stay and get options for which meal you get a companion for.

That's what they do across the border from Germany in Poland too. But then it's not pencils, it's ugly gypsum statue casts. Very expensive ugly gypsum statue casts and very sympathetic salesgirls.

Personally, I believe sex for money should be legal, but currently it would be up to a jury to decide if it was sex or pencils you were selling and the jury didn't fall off the shortbus this morning.

Article says nothing of how good they are, either. There is such a thing as 'bad sex' if you are a woman (where as with men, I often hear the 'bad sex is like bad pizza' logic: it isn't the best but it's always better than none). There'd be no stress relief if you just waste my time.

MoseBefore RTFA I thought this was about tutors being repaid with sex instead of money. That got me a little hot, since I've tutored some calc and physics... and my fantasies ran wild.

From what I've been told from friends who now have Phds in medicine, in that regard you might have had more luck tutoring in the medical department of the university (though I think they had to take a physics (electricity-related) course, too, because I remember lending one of them one of my textbooks for those weeks and helping her with a homework assignment about voltage dividers).What was that saying again?"If you are in your third year and haven't gotten your doctor yet, you'll probably have to become one yourself."

I put up a Rent-a-Boyfriend ad on Craigslist when I was single, bored and drunk. Offered to be your date for functions, meet your parents, cook a meal, listen to your car stories, etc. was shocked when women actually replied. Was NOT prepared for the freakshow tho, after I got a look at them. Turns out the gals who would pay for companionship HAVE to pay for companionship. I felt bad for them, but I still removed the ad without going through with anything...

Or, how about you just set up a company where people came and hire women by the hour to, I don't know, escort them places. You're paying strictly for time and companionship only and whatever happens between consenting adults, hey, that's their business. Oh, and you make them sign a paper saying that they know that they're not really paying for sex and are ABSOLUTELY NOT A COP. Seems foolproof to me.

I was going to say "how easy are German girls anyway?" and then, remembering I know lots of them, I realized that's not the question at all. Europeans don't worry about "easy", don't wrap their sex in biblical guilt, don't tie sex to unrelated matters, etc.etc. They have sex if they want and with who they want. Or they don't.
